“Your heart & my heart are very, very old friends.” HafizI saw this quote by Hafiz recently & it touched me deeply. It sums up so many of the beautiful connections I have had in my life, where no matter how long I have known that person, it feels like I have known them for lifetimes.Sometimes people come into our lives to shake things up, to bring us joy & to help us see things from a fresh perspective. People we meet can be great catalysts for change & growth. Everyone we meet has a lesson to teach us- even the troublemakers!One aspect I adore about creating & sharing art is the powerful way it draws kindred spirits together. I have a whole wonderful network of people around me that touch my heart daily both in person & though channels such as Instagram, Facebook & Pinterest . Together we share our triumphs, vulnerabilities & reflections on life. It is funny to think that by a simple hashtag we can connect with people from all over the world with a common interest whether it be #art #love or #gratitude.The kindred spirits I have encountered on my journey so far often have a twinkle in their eye. Words are not necessarily needed. Laughter is close by. Support is mutual and unconditional. The sense of belonging evoked from such people is priceless. It is from these friendships that we gather our strength and head out into the world on our individual missions. These are also the people we come back to, to touch base with & debrief on our experiences.I have noticed the word “tribe” being used a lot over the past few years to denote the coming together of people with similar heartfelt intentions & visions. I love this concept! We are often born into families that whilst there is much love it may feel as if they don’t ‘get us’ on a Soul level. It is up to us to recognise and seek out people who do. Connection & a sense of belonging is paramount to being a happy, healthy & successful human being.When our heart connects with another I feel this has the power to heal the world.

Underneath it all we are all the same, seeking similar things- to love, to be loved, to be happy, to share with others & to live a purpose filled life. If this resonates with you & you are looking for your tribe, come & connect with me you will be sure to meet some like minded, kindred spirits!Wishing you a wonderful week ahead,Sally XoXo
